Magyar Telekom - Shift in sales mix led to revenue guidance upgrade

In short: Magyar Telekom beat top line consensus by 2.5% (HUF 168 bn vs. HUF 164 bn) but missed the bottom line by the same percentage (HUF 13.7 bn vs. HUF 14.1 bn). The difference may come from stronger than excepted equipment sales coupled with lower than expected SI/IT margin which pushed actual EBITDA margin lower than consensus EBITDA margin estimation. Last but not least, management upgraded its full year guidance but only for revenue, they now expect HUF 630 billion revenue vs. HUF 600 billion, a 5% increase. The fact that they left FY EBITDA guidance unchanged, implies the above mentioned trend that Telekom sales mix shifts towards lower margin products such as equipment sales.
